BY RYAN O’CONNOR With just under 20 seconds left on the game clock, Bow and rival Hanover deadlocked at 16 goals apiece, Falcons junior Kiley Corson had only one thought as she prepared for a free shot. “Oh, my gosh. I’m going to miss,” she admitted. “It was all on me.” If Corson was nervous, it ...

BY SAPNA PATHAK It took less than two minutes to halt a season full of domination over opponents, the most wins in Division III and perhaps the biggest expectations the program has seen. But don’t think for a moment Doug Maynard’s going to let 120 seconds overshadow two months – make that three years – of ...

BY SAPNA PATHAK It should have been just another drive to work, but the phone call Ross Mondello received minutes before sitting in his car changed that.

BY SAPNA PATHAK This year’s Pelham boys lacrosse team is the first that will breathe a bit easier before each game. That’s because it’s the first time the Pythons have a head coach who truly knows how to teach the game. That’s not a knock on the fourth-year program’s two previous head coaches, but Roger ...
